29/05/2017 New Single, Album & Live Dates
New single Rūnas (Runes) is out now on our Bandcamp page. Taken from our upcoming 3rd album Jūrasputnu Mistērijas (Mysteries Of The Seabirds) to be released by Naba Music/Melo Records at the beginning of June. The album was recorded from 2013 to 2017 with the line-up: Kalvis Kluburs, Mārtiņš Links & friends. Technical assistance came from studio masters – Sandris Savickis (Starring Two, Jūrmala), Kaspars Tobis (7 Synths, Dzelzs vilks, Sigulda) and Kaspars Bārbals (Lauska, Rīga).
The new album can be described as dark and atmospheric synthfolk. It has been created almost like a fairy-tale or as a soundtrack to a book – Mysteries by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun (1892) – and our own summer night hikes along the sea. We are going to present the new material as a duo (Kalvis & Mārtiņš) at a couple of album release gigs. These are going to be the first STandART live performances in four years.
June 1, 2017 – Nabaklab, Riga, LV (Guests: Marta Migla)
